this is a post about the Ms. Universe beauty pageant. i know it’s really late but i still want to make a post for our contestant, that is, Ms. Philippines 🙂

everyone’s talking about the way she answered in the answer and question part. it received many opinions from the viewers all over the world. one of them, if not the most famous one, is Oprah’s comment about how Ms. Philippines should have won the pageant.

Oprah Winfrey say’s via NBC News

“I have reservations with the results. If the only basis is the Q and A part, after having been trimmed down to 5, Ms. Philippines deserved to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to reconsider of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having brakes on seconds to think about their answers. Hands down, Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point.”

everyone has an interpreter but she did not have, but though they might be a language barrier, since English is a second language to her, that did not change that she gave a very good answer. quick, no doubts, direct to the point.

another thing is that, i feel proud of her 2 times 🙂 one is because she’s a Filipina and second is because we have same University. haha! i know i know what you’re thinking. i’m sorry to feel this way, but i’m happy that Shamcey won the Bb. Pilipinas pageant. really beauty and brain 🙂

this is hell. well. not really hell. but now i start to feel the pressure from my parents. well, parent actually. last weekend, i saw my father cried.

this is the first time in my 19 yrs of existence. i couldn’t believe it at first and i felt awkward and scared at the same time. i never see him cry, even when the rough times come. never. you don’t have any idea how rough it would be. like we almost lost half of our house, and not to mention the problem my parents met last decade. well it has something to do with their relationship and i was still in my first year in high school.

but last weekend, he cried in front of me. probably the alcohol gave him enough courage to speak to me and be emotional in front of me.

i was watching my university as they play basketball against the other school. i kept on changing the channels because i already got the idea that my school would lose 60% but i think they pretty did well. then my father came down from upstairs and sat next to the me. well, not really next to me, he sat on the other chair close to me. and i was startled when he spoke to me with uncertainty:

“tell me if you can still study at the University, tell me if you cannot”

his words flung into my head but i hid it with my smile and answered with a stern voice:

“of course i can”

i am an extending student and so he thought that i can no longer survive the college life. my life as a college student is like a roller coaster. well not really, but i’m still hoping that it’s still like a roller coaster. there’s always the downs and i am so used to that kind of feeling but i’m not giving up, though the tasks are quite hard and the problem really lies inside me. i’m recuperating, every single day, i am trying. until now and tomorrow. i will never give up.

now i’m back in the University, and before i leave the house in our province, i talked to my mom and told her to give me 2 years staring this semester. 2 years and i will proudly give them my “sablay”

so i have lived a normal life for almost three years without my phone. it’s either my sister let me borrow hers or my mother’s. (okay, it’s not really normal but i can survived without the use of the phone) maybe it’ll be weird to others, but the only thing that changed was that my social circle grew narrower. and i lost communication and contacts. some of my friends are now just acquaintance to me. but things will change starting from now. because my brother bought me a new cellphone.

i couldn’t believe it at first since this is the very first time he bought me something. well i think this phone will be my ticket back to the normal world. 🙂

10 months have passed. wow. let’s see if i can still keep this blog. well i do have another blog, but it’s a tumblog. i actually don’t consider tumblr as a BLOG. just a place to post pictures and to expose your fangirlism. well if you are obsessed for a thing or to someone.

that’s my opinion. no offense meant intended guys. okay?

let’s have some update.

1. i’m back to school. i’m a student again :p

2. i still don’t have a major in university, but it’s better now i think since i know what i really want in my life

3. i returned in being so so so much poorer. haha! but it’s okay. it’s hard. but it’s okay.

4. i want to believe i am more mature now than i used to be. 😀

5. and and, i am really positive to have my work in the market (SOON)

i’ll write something to read tomorrow. i think i’ll just post my short story tomorrow. good night!
